2. Make sure you have all the tools/sup-plies necessary to install each compo-nent.

3. Assemble and calibrate the anemome-ter. See “Calibrating the Anemometer”on Page 9.

4. Install all components, then connect allrelated components.

5. Connect the anemometer, outdoorthermo/hygro sensor and rain gauge totheir individual solar transmitters toreceive the weather element data. Eachsolar transmitter needs two AA batteries(not supplied) for backup power.

Notes:

• Install the anemometer, outdoor thermo/hygro sensor, and rain gauge outdoorsin a location that provides the best mea-surement for the weather elements theinstruments are designed for.

• To reduce interference, do not installindividual solar transmitters closer than3.28 feet (1 meter) to each other.

• We recommend that you use lithium bat-teries in any component that could beexposed to temperatures between –4°F(–20° C) and –58°F (–50° C) or colder.

Estimating the Mounting Distances

To help you find the right location for eachweather station component, follow the tipslisted in “Selecting a Location” on Page 11that precede the mounting instructions forthat component.

Before you mount any of the components,we recommend you select a general mount-ing location for each component first, thenmeasure the distance between the locationsfor components that you will be connecting to

each other to be sure the selected locationsare close enough together.

For the best reception, mount the solar trans-mitters no more than about 328 ft (100 m)from the monitor. Obstacles between thesolar transmitters and the monitor mightreduce the effective range.

The maximum length of serial cable (not sup-plied) required to connect the monitor’s RS-232 jack to a PC is 10 feet, so the monitormust be located indoors within 10 feet ofyour PC.

CALIBRATING THE ANEMOMETERBefore you mount the anemometer at theselected mounting location, follow thesesteps to calibrate it with the monitor, so themonitor properly measures wind speed anddirection.

Important: You must be able to view themonitor while you assemble and calibrate theanemometer. You must temporarily installthe monitor and connect AC power to it. Besure to follow these steps before you installthe anemometer at its mounting location.

Assembling the Anemometer

1. Place the wind cup over the thin shaft onthe anemometer’s bar, use a small Phil-lips screwdriver to tighten the screw onthe base of the wind cup, then insert oneof the supplied rubber screw covers into

the screw’s hole to protect the screwfrom corrosion.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen thescrews on the cover of the anemome-ter’s solar transmitter, then remove thecover. The anemometer’s cable andanemometer solar transmitter are bothlabeled with a red tag.

3. Install two AA batteries in the compart-ment according to the polarity symbols(+ and –) marked inside.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the re-quired size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-ferent types of batteries (standard, al-kaline, or rechargeable), or recharge-able batteries of different capacities.

4. Insert the anemometer’s modular pluginto the modular jack inside the ane-mometer’s solar transmitter’s batterycompartment.

5. Align the rubber gasket on the anemom-eter’s cord with the groove in the solartransmitter.

6. Replace the cover and secure it with itsscrews. The indicator on the solar trans-mitter flashes while it is transmittingdata.

7. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrelplug into the monitor’s DC 12V jack, thenplug the other end of the AC adapter intoa standard AC outlet.

All display elements appear. Then thedefault time appears.

8. To calibrate the position of the windvane’s shaft with the monitor, turn theshaft until 4;3�4;3�4;3�4;3� appears next to %($5,1*%($5,1*%($5,1*%($5,1*on the monitor. This shows the winddirection.

Notes:

• The current position of the shaftappears on the monitor about 10 sec-onds after you turn the shaft.

• If you are unable to view the monitorwhile calibrating the wind vane, youcan use the alignment marks on theT-bar and wind vane. When the redmark on the wind vane’s shaft isaligned with the mark on the outeredge of the shaft’s base, 4;3�4;3�4;3�4;3� shouldappear next to %($5,1*%($5,1*%($5,1*%($5,1* on the moni-tor.

9. Align the wind vane’s tail with the bar asshown here, then carefully press thewind vane down onto the shaft. Do notallow the shaft to turn as you press thewind vane down onto it.

10. Use a small Phillips screwdriver totighten the screw on the base of thewind vane. Then insert one of the sup-plied rubber screw covers into thescrew’s hole to protect the screw fromcorrosion.

Important: If the shaft turns and themonitor’s reading changes (or alignmentmarks are no longer aligned), repeatSteps 8 and 9 before you tighten thewind vane’s screw. Otherwise, theweather station will not provide accuratewind direction data.

11. When you finish calibrating the ane-mometer, disconnect the AC adapterfrom the monitor.

INSTALLING THE ANEMOMETER

Selecting a Location

Select a mounting location for the anemome-ter that is:

• outdoors, within 10 feet of its solar trans-mitter

• not blocked on the top or sides, so windcan freely reach the anemometer

The best location for the anemometer is usu-ally above roof level on the building wherethe monitor is located.

Caution: To prevent damage to your weath-er station by lightning, we recommend youground the anemometer to the mast, andground the mast as directed in the installa-tion instructions provided with the mast.

Note: To mount the anemometer, you needa mast (not supplied) about 1–11/4 inches(2.54–3.18 cm) in diameter, and the hard-ware necessary to fasten it to the mountinglocation. If you previously installed such amast (for mounting an antenna, for example),you can mount the anemometer and its solartransmitter on that mast.

Mounting the Anemometer/Solar Transmitter

Important: Be sure you follow the steps list-ed in “Assembling the Anemometer” onPage 9 before you mount the anemometer.

1. If necessary, mount and ground a mastas directed in the installation instructionsprovided with the mast.

Warning: Be sure to follow all safetyinstructions provided with the mast.

2. Using a compass for reference, point thebar on which the anemometer is

mounted so the end with the anemome-ter and wind cup point due south. Thenhold the mounting bracket on the end ofthe bar against the place where you planto attach it to the mast. Make sure thewind vane is above the wind cup.

3. Place the supplied U-bolts around themast and through the holes on the ane-mometer’s mounting bracket.

4. Place a washer over both ends of eachU-bolt, then place the ring terminal ofthe anemometer’s grounding wire overthe end of one of the bolts.

• near hot or cold sources, such asstoves, heating and air conditioningvents, and radiators

• near electronic equipment that couldinterfere with it

• in water or in a location where it can getwet

Installing Batteries

Your monitor requires four AA batteries (notsupplied) for backup power. For the best per-formance and longest life, we recommendRadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the requiredsize and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, differ-ent types of batteries (standard, alka-line, or rechargeable), or rechargeablebatteries of different capacities.

Notes:

• The monitor can operate on fresh batter-ies for up to 1 week without AC power.

• The monitor might display inaccuratedata if it is using backup battery powerand battery power becomes low.

1. Press the tab on the battery compart-ment cover down and lift the cover up toremove it.

2. Place the batteries in the compartmentas indicated by the polarity symbols (+and –) marked inside.

3. Use a pointed object such as a straight-ened paper clip to press the RESET holeinside the battery compartment. This ini-tializes the monitor’s transmitter.

4. Replace the cover.

All display segments briefly appear. Then theair pressure, indoor temperature, and humid-ity readings appear.

When appears in the clock window, thedisplay dims, or the monitor stops operatingproperly, replace the batteries. disap-pears within about 1 hour after you replacethe batteries.

The weather station scans all sensors tocheck battery power status. appearsunder the corresponding sensor’s window toindicate which sensor’s batteries need to bereplaced.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptlyand properly. Do not burn or bury them.

USING AC POWER

Power the monitor using the supplied 12V,300 mA AC adapter.

16 Operation

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 powersource that supplies 12V DCand delivers at least 300 mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive andits plug must fit the monitor’s DC 12Vjack. The supplied adapter meets thesespecifications. Using an adapter thatdoes not meet these specificationscould damage the monitor or theadapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter to themonitor before you connect it to ACpower. When you finish, disconnect theadapter from AC power before you dis-connect it from the monitor.

To connect the monitor to AC power, insertthe supplied adapter’s barrel plug into the DC12V jack on the back of the monitor, thenplug the other end of the adapter into a stan-dard AC outlet. If you did not install batteriesin the monitor, all programmed display char-acters appear, then the default time (45=3345=3345=3345=33)and the weather element readings appear.

The monitor begins scanning and readingdata from all components as soon as youconnect AC power. Wait until the monitorstops scanning before you make any adjust-ments.

Mounting the Monitor on a Wall

To mount the monitor on a wall, you needtwo wall screws (not supplied) with headsthat fit the keyhole slots on the back of themonitor. The heads should be no larger than0.31 inches (8 mm).

1. Drill two small pilot holes (each shallowand slightly smaller in diameter than thescrew) 59/16 inches apart, one beside theother, at the desired mounting location.

2. Thread a screw into each hole until thescrew’s head extends about 1/8 inchfrom the wall.

3. Place the keyhole slots on the back ofthe monitor over the screws, then slidethe monitor down over the screws until itis securely in place.

33Care and Maintenance

� Care and MaintenanceKeep the weather station’s indoor compo-nents dry; if they get wet, wipe them dry im-mediately. Use and store the weatherstation’s indoor components only in normaltemperature environments. Handle theweather station carefully; do not drop it.Keep the weather station away from dustand dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occa-sionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the weather sta-tion’s internal components can cause a mal-function and might invalidate its warranty andvoid your FCC authorization to operate it. Ifyour weather station is not performing as itshould, take it to your local RadioShack storefor assistance.

RESETTING THE MONITORCaution: Resetting the monitor also clearsall data stored in the monitor’s memory.

If the monitor’s display locks up or the moni-tor does not work properly, remove the bat-tery compartment cover and use a pointedobject such as a straightened paper clip tolightly press and release the RESET holeinside the monitor’s battery compartment. Alldisplay segments appear briefly, then thedefault time and date (45=3345=3345=3345=33 and 424424424424) appear.

Note: Set the correct date, time, and sea lev-el barometric pressure after you reset themonitor.
